Titans rookie wide receiver Justin Hunter was suspended for the Dec. 15 game against the Cardinals because he violated team rules.

Titans rookie wide receiver Justin Hunter said he expected to make a smoother transition from college to the NFL.

The second-round pick from the University of Tennessee had his share of ups and downs. He was inactive for the first game and posted just two catches - both touchdowns - in his six games before the bye week.

"I underestimated it a little bit going into it," Hunter said. "I thought it would be a lot easier, but it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I learned a lot from the veterans and I'll just take what I learned into next year."
